How do I start a TCP server from the terminal on port 13370 using nc? I was following a tutorial that required starting up a TCP server on 13370 and send requests through it. The tut advised me to open the TCP server using "nc" How do I go on achieving this?
From nc documentation:
It is quite simple to build a very basic client/server model using nc. On one console, start nc lis-tening listening on a specific port for a connection
You should use -l parameter, for listening on port 13370:
$ nc -l 13370
Now you have a tcp server on 127.0.0.1:13370
On a second console you could connect to your server by using:
$ nc 127.0.0.1 13370
